Hello Scotty and Team, I have a 2001 Honda Civic that I bought for a $1000 knowing the transmission was bad. I proceeded to buy a junkyard transmission for 600 bucks and installed it using the old transmissions sensors since the ones on the junkyard one were so damaged. While the car is stopped, with the engine running in reverse with my foot on the break, it makes a loud scraping/ grinding noise and it doesn’t go away unless you put the car in drive or neutral. Once in drive, the noise goes away but when at about 25+ miles per hour, when I let my foot off the accelerator I hear a scrape/grind about every half/.75 second that immediately goes away when I give it any gas. I tried taking it on the highway and it made it about 5 miles until all the gears turned into neutral. I waited 10 minutes on the side of the road then it decided to move again so I drove it another half mile then all neutrals again. Had it towed home where it could back itself into the driveway so my question to you guys is, What would you guys think is wrong with the replacement trans I put in? Electronic failure, torque converter, gear system gone, overheating? I’m stumped after not finding anything online! Thanks
It seems to be electronic issue. You need to have the transmission scanned to see what exactly is wrong.
Hello, just scanned the car, no transmission DTC’s. Not sure on what to do next
What type of scan tool you used? You need something that can scan the transmission.
